What weapons would you recommend for a ghost? I wish I could take a submachinegun and a pistol, but I don't seem to be able to...

A Ghost needs a silent pistol at the very minimum, something the lines of the Crosskill with a good silencer.

I've got the basic pistol with a silencer, I'm thinking of upgrading to the Bernetti 9 (Beratta right?) and getting a silencer for it. Is there any way to get a better silencer apart from those cards at the end of the mission? And I'd pick up an MP-5 I think for missions that are going to be pretty rocking. But that is a little way down the path, I'm only level 6 now.

Been playing this a bit. Having fun with the secondary shotgun.

Do you get more money later in the game? It seems to be my main limiting factor at the moment, with a load of skill points I haven't been able to spend yet.

Once you start doing hard, very hard and overkill missions, especialy the multiple day ones you start raking it in.

Firestarter on overkill can net you over 1mil spending cash, though it's tough as nails. I think I have like 7mil without a use for it right now.

Sadly, you can only get your upgrades through that stupid card game.

I'm still pining for some good M308 rifle upgrades myself, plus the upgrades for my beloved Mosconi.

Clearly the only solution is to play the ever living daylights out of it. Thanks.

What I usually do is play a few short missions a few times if nobody else is around, like Ukranian Job. Lousy payout, lousy XP, but hey, there is a small chance the drop in the end is worth it.

Same, ukranian, mallcrasher, four stores, jewerely store are all good for that. Though I often just try to join overkill firestarter pubs, you often get good teams on missions like that (mostly 60+ dudes doing them) and you'll just start raking it in.

Ah, to play with a pro crew and not have "drunk third man" option turned on!

When do you guys play? I want to join the 'dakka crew'. Even though I'm pretty awful so far ha

Right now Sol is about the only competent person in the gang.

Well if I'm playing at a random time that you guys are, I'd be more than happy to jim in to one of your games and learn at the feet of Sol.

I am king of self-invitation.

Hey screw you!
I'm competent! I chose to shoot all those people. If I had done it by accident then i'd be incompetent.

The game isn't very forgiving to first time players and low level folks, but it is worth it, you just need to power through.

I figured as much, it just sucks because I feel like that damn Thermal drill is what did me in, overheating all the time, forcing frick and frack to protect me instead of the other way around.

Also, good ways to sneak into the bank? I got spotted like an idiot after sneaking most of the way through the bank.

Not many good ways no...

Alright, time to go research a bit like a good criminal does!

Try and keep you profile low by going in lightly armoured and taking weapons that aren't too high on their visibility. The places you want to hit first are the managers office for the security key (so you can quietly hit the security office) and make sure you have a quick and quiet way to the vault. After that, keep an eye out for patrolling guards, be quick on answering their pagers and don't shoot your hostages.

It's a good thing civvie-shooting penalties aren't shared by the rest of the team then.

You're making me want to get it.

Stahp.

I support this motion

I caved and bought it. Steam is being a bitch and suspending the DL every 5 seconds, though, so it should be ready in approximately never.

So it might be ready by the time I get home?
